Hello!
So this week was pretty good. But to start off, yeah last week sucked on p day. President Tavares made the rule of no soccer because it is a "contact sport" so yeah that's the rule, NO SOCCER! And I think all the senior companions knew, but just told us we could... And yeah, p days are sort of boring! I would like to go out and do stuff...The rule is that you wake up, get ready, study until 11 or so, clean, then go out and do whatever you want including e mail, so yeah it is the same as dad´s rules and stuff... but we don´t go do anything fun! We go to the market after e mailing, buy boring food that is cheap ha ha, go back, heat up the food, eat, write letters, then just sleep. Its super boring! So yeah, I would love to go out and do stuff but Elder Moreira doesn't like to, and complains that something is wrong with him, especially on p day. IT SUCKS!!! oh well though.
Things were a little bit better this week though. We had better numbers, not our best, but OK numbers. We might have 2 baptisms this weekend. Rawane and another Lucas (brother of a member) who we´re working with along with their mom. So yeah, I hope they come through and realize this is the next step in their lives! Its a little tricky though because we´re not sticking to all the rules, which I know if we follow the rules, that also will help us bring about miracles! For example we got home around 9:45 three nights in a row! And the first night I told elder Moreira we need to be better, then he just talked alot, which he is ALWAYS talking, kind of annoying... but whatever, and then what do you know the next night we were late again... So yeah, I tell him every night we need to do better.
I sent my memory card home on Tuesday and they said it should take about 15 days. Hopefully you guys get it soon... and also I don't know about the situation on Mother's Day yet, but I´ll let you know as soon as possible what the plan is.
I´m glad you guys had a good week, other than the cold mom has. That's really exciting about Seth. Now we all at least have our calls!!! Can you get me the mission addresses of all the boys please?... Ha ha, and yeah, I switch between glasses and contacts every once in a while... I cant wait to get back and watch the Hunger Games. It looks so cool. The other day at lunch, a preview came on in Portuguese in the restaurant we were at. So cool. And yeah, that place downtown sounds cool (City Creek Mall)... I guess ha ha. And it sounds like Shane is starting to do good too, so that's cool! Tell everybody HI for me OK! I have no idea what we will do for conference down here, I guess I´ll see on Saturday and Sunday.
It is super great to hear Alec is starting to prepare too! I cant wait to find out where he goes!!! Oh, ask Wes Boyack if he knew a Sister Oliveira, I think she said that she knew him in the CTM. That would be cool if he knew her.
Well so yeah, this last week was better, and every day I pray that the next day we can do better and at least have a little more fun. I love you guys and thank you for all that you do. I´m still waiting for the package, but am super excited for it! Please tell everybody HI for me and that I love them. Especially tell Alec, Jackson and Pep I love them every day. Have a great week!!!
Love,
Elder Halpin
I want him to have a new companion. P-Days will be so much fun for him when he can actually go out and explore in the areas he is in. Difficult companions will ALWAYS be some of the best learning experiences in the mish though.
